FOOLISH
FANCIES
BY' ROY L. GRIFFIN
Of N. C. Camp F-9
Civilian Conservation Corp
ONE hot afternoon last week I
took off across somebody's
wheat field and unintentionally day
dreamed myself into the middle of
a creek. Sounds silly, doesn't it?
If you had of felt th' cold moun
tain water, though, swirling around
your clothed body, you would have
no doubt of the reality of the
aforesaid situation. Seeing the pre
dicament 1 was in, Mrs. Griffin's
wet little Roy only turned over, and
continued day-dreaming. This time,
though, of piracy on the high seas.
How long I lay there, I know
not. In the spring, you know, a
young man's fancy turns to love,
and other beautiful things of life.
Please pardon! I -keep forgetting
that I'm no Kipling or Browning.
Well, anyway, after a time, 1 hap
pened to glance up, and me, oh my,
two gloriously fair young maidens
beamed down upon me. Good gosh !
Was my face red? Just imagine,
dear readers, if you were in im
position. Now, really, don't you
feel a flush creeping up yur neck ?
Huh? If you don't, then there's
something radically wrong some
place. Not getting personal, of
course. Well, I helped Roy up out
of the creek, and almost immediate
ly fell for one of the girls. Why,
I don't know. 1 guess it was just
one of those cases. Anyway, we
just sat and talked, and I made a
vow to her that nothing could ever
take me away from her side.
It wasn't long before I heard the
chow bell over at camp and I asked
her if she would go with me. Of
course, she answered no. So once
again, 1 took off across some
body's wheat field this time with
an object in view; supper.
Believe it. or don't you dare be
lieve iti! There's no sense to it
eitihr. wav.

he's getting married this month.
Q. Where is Lewis Hargett's

office of a place called Indian
Trail, a community known as 'Pos
sum Hollow.
Q. I'm very much in love with
a man, but he puzzles me. Should
I marry him ?
A. Sure! Don't you like to
work puzzles?
Q. Why don't Mrs. Griffin's Roy
go with some Franklin girl?
A. Because he was brought up
to "trade at home."
Now, folks, if I didn't get to
your question, don't be dishearten
ed. I'll answer it next week.
MUSINGS of a canteen clerk
About the only thing that
come.-, into our lives without work
is trouble .... The man without
a country had nothing on the C .
C. C. boy without a cigarette . . . .
Heard that Granville B. Liles will
play the part of Archibald in a
forthcoming play entitled, "My
Tame Scotch Violet." .... They
say this is a machine age. I
wonder where the substitute for
usitig a pick and shovel can be
. . . . Bernard Hargett travelled
down to L'wanna the other day to
sec his girl, and to his query at a
certain house received this answer,
"A gentleman with a red jacket call
ed around the other night. I'm
sorry, but she doesn't live here
anymore."
I Wonder if it would be possible
I to uersuade the Leas to take a
i
trip to
I NEWS.
